shrinkiatry context

The Stony Brook University psychiatry residency is the academic program of Long Island's public research university medical center, distinct from the community-focused Eastern Long Island track. It emphasizes a small-program feel with close senior-faculty mentorship and research access, training residents across the range of clinical settings a tertiary academic center provides. It's in Stony Brook, on Long Island's North Shore.
